INEC calls for collaboration to combat electoral fraud.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has called for stronger collaboration among all stakeholders to combat electoral fraud in future elections. 

The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Osun State, Mutiu Agboke, who made the call while addressing journalists, stressed the need for stakeholders to work together to promote democracy and reduce electoral malpractices.

Agboke highlighted the roles that various stakeholders, including the media, security agencies, civil society organizations, the political class, and religious leaders, can play in preventing electoral fraud. 

He urged them to take the lead in voter education and enlighten the public on the electoral process.

The REC argued that INEC alone cannot eliminate electoral malpractice, stressing that continuous engagement with stakeholders is necessary to discourage violence and promote democracy, hence the need for religious leaders and political actors to actively participate in safeguarding the integrity of elections.
